The IFM MR0123 T-slot cylinder sensor with reed contact is designed for pneumatic cylinder position detection where an extended 6.0 m cable is required. Its MRT3021BBKOA/R/6,0M/ZH configuration provides magnetic piston detection and conventional switching feedback. The sensor is suitable for larger machines, production lines, assembly systems and material-handling equipment where the cylinder and connection point are positioned farther apart.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MR0123 is a T-slot cylinder sensor using reed-contact technology to detect magnetic piston movement. It provides switching feedback when the piston reaches the defined sensing area. Its 6.0 m cable configuration allows the sensor to be installed on pneumatic cylinders located at a greater distance from the electrical connection point. This makes it suitable for larger machine layouts.
The 6.0 m cable provides additional installation flexibility compared with short cable versions. It can help route the sensor signal toward a remote terminal, junction point or control cabinet. This is particularly useful in production machines where pneumatic cylinders are distributed across a larger working area. Proper cable routing and mechanical protection are recommended.
The reed contact detects the magnetic field generated by the pneumatic piston. When the piston enters the sensing area, the contact switches and provides a position signal. The connected controller can use this signal for machine sequencing, interlocking and actuator monitoring. The sensor provides a straightforward interface for conventional automation systems.
The MR0123 is suitable for large pneumatic machines, production lines, automated handling systems and assembly equipment. Its long cable helps accommodate machines where sensor connection points are not close to the cylinder. The sensor can support repetitive piston-position monitoring and reliable machine sequencing when installed on compatible T-slot cylinders.
